Second-grade students experiment with materials and techniques in a variety of ways. Painting, printing, drawing, and sculpture are all explored using pencils, inks, pastels, tempera, novelty papers, clay, and found materials. Creativity, exploration, and experimentation are all fostered through a variety of projects. Third-grade students learn new techniques with familiar materials and experiment with new media including printmaking, assemblage, and acrylic paint. Learning to observe and discuss artwork and developing an art vocabulary is included in the third grade classes. Fourth-grade students are introduced to new materials, (charcoal, watercolors, oil pastels, and fibers), and techniques that encourage creativity and an ongoing exploration of what materials will do.
